Patriotic Pin

Happy July 4th!!!!
 
You've probably seen these easy to make patriotic safety pins. They never go out of fashion so make some now or later but this craft is something everyone in the family can proudly wear year round!
 
 
 
                                  
 
You'll need:
one 1 1/2" safety pin
twelve 1" safety pins
25 blue seed beads
62 red seed beads
50 white beads
 
 
Follow the pattern of colored beads in the photo above, stringing the beads on the 1" safety pins. Close each pin when it is full.  When all smaller pins are completed, slide them onto the side of the longer safety pin that is permanently attached to the head.  Wear with pride over your heart!
